I rise in support of the motion offered by the gentleman from Louisiana to concur in the Senate amendment to the D.C. appropriations bill. with an amendment. Mr. Speaker. the Senate amendment is essentially what we call the Moran substitute. I offered it on the House floor when the D.C. bill came up. It does include a new title which provides relief for Nicaraguan and Central American refugees. I totally agree with the comments of the gentlewoman from Florida . the gentleman from Florida . the gentlewoman from Texas . and the gentleman from California . It is wrong to exclude Haitian refugees in this. there is no question about it. I think that that is very unfortunate. However. this bill needs to be passed.
